 Tom Cruise: Returns favor to Lauer
Being a surprise guest at "Today" show Tom Cruise cracked jokes on show’s host Matt Lauer.
Sources have thrown more light on the news of Tom Cruise. Tom commented that Lauer was the man "we wake up to every morning — only because we had the channel on NBC before we fell asleep."
Three years ago, Tom Cruise had rebuked Lauer on a "Today" show interview for suggesting that psychiatric treatment might help some patients. In that very year he jumped up and down on talk show couch of Oprah Winfrey, thereby excited about falling in love with Katie Holmes.
Tom Cruise cracked a joke that Lauer had given him some advice before his interview with Winfrey. Cruise chuckled "Go crazy. Trust me. Trust me. People will love you for it."
A reliable source said that Cruise was threatened by Lauer. She continued, "He wants to be the only heterosexual man in the room who everyone thinks is gay."
NBC Universal chief namely Jeff Zucker, former executive producer at "Today," has revealed the origin of popular travelogue feature of Lauer. It was called "Where in the World is Matt Lauer?"
"We got that idea when I got a call from his wife one morning at 3 a.m.," added the same source.
The celebrity-filled dais at New York's Hilton Hotel included Aretha Franklin and Donald Trump.
In fact Cruise didn't have time to spare, since he made for the exit shortly after his speech. That led Lauer to call after him by saying, "Tom, can you stay?" "I'll get a booster seat." |
